Color characteristics and psychological healing effects in Rokuon-ji Temple Garden: a quantitative analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study quantitatively analyzed the color characteristics and psychological healing effects of Rokuon-ji Temple Garden (Kinkaku-ji) through a systematic methodology combining color extraction, fractal analysis, and semantic differential evaluation. From an initial collection of 150 photographs documenting the garden's complete visitor experience, 42 landscape photographs were systematically selected based on healing quality ratings (mean ≥5.0, median ≥5.0, standard deviation <1.2) and analyzed for six color categories (red, yellow, brown, gray, white, green) using three quantitative metrics: fractal dimension, diversity index, and concentration index. Factor analysis of semantic differential evaluations from 58 participants identified six psychological dimensions: Openness, Decorativeness, Clarity, Naturalness, Unity, and Complexity. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed eight distinct landscape types with characteristic color profiles corresponding to specific psychological effects. Significant correlations were found between color metrics and psychological factors, particularly between brown fractal dimension and Openness (
